Learning not to procrastinate has to be one of the most frequently learned lessons. One of the ones that has to be relearned over and over an over again. I'm glad you met the deadline, even if you sacrificed a bit of yourself in the process.

Procrastination is a word used very often in this household! I have a son that leaves everything until the last minute (homework), so this long weekend that I planned to sew, was not to be, I had to sort Mr Procrastinator out!!! I hope things are all sorted out for you ((HUGS)).

I'm definitely a procrastinator but i've gotten better at some things and worse at others when it comes to putting things off over the years. And curve balls call for leeway. It's as simple as that.

I'm sure your partner will be thrilled - they're beautfiul pieces!

AND, most importantly, I'm very sorry to hear that the wheel of fortune has turned and dragged you through the muck lately. It will spin again and pull you up and out of it but it takes its own time. You have an open-invitation to grab my now-officially outstretched arm/email anytime you need it, especially as an objective third-party sounding board/rant listener. :-) Big hugs and virtual brownies!

So sorry to hear you have had some rough times... sending hugs and prayers to you!. But your sewing machine cover is gorgeous, as well as her thread catcher and pincushion! The text fabrics are perfect for the linen patchwork! I know your partner will adore it :)

So sorry to hear that life has been bringing you more downs than ups lately, and I hope that will change soon! Meanwhile, this sewing stuff sure looks good to me, especially that lovely machine cover! Maybe Oprah would invite you on to show how it was done, with grace under pressure. I don't really enjoy deadline sewing either, as much as I love making stuff. I hope your next project will be entirely of your own choosing, in every detail.

I'm sorry life is throwing you curve balls. That sucks. If you ever need an ear, I'm hear. I don't mind the ugly cry. :-) Your cover is fantastic. If that's not your best work, well, you have nothing to be ashamed of. I know if I was your partner, I'd happily wait, as life is stressful, and sewing doesn't need to be. You did a beautiful job. I have taken to putting a lightweight interfacing to the back of my linen, when I think of it. Really helps with all that stretching and raveling.

Hugs to you. Wish I was there to give you a real one. I'm fighting pneumonia right now. :-(
